 It seemed I was right. That day would forever change my life as I sat at the end of a large oval table with school administrators, a police officer, and my father at the other end, listening to them discuss what had been my most private secret only days before. It was a nightmare scenario and one so many of my generation knew too well. It's why those of us who grew to become LGBT activists and politicians have been so adamant about preventing schools from repeating this behavior known as outing.
